Foreign Minister Eli Cohen speaks with Turkey’s new top diplomat Hakan Fidan and congratulates him on taking office.
According to Israel, the two speak about the importance of bilateral ties for regional stability and about ways to expand ties.
“The resumption of flights from Israeli carriers will expand even further the tourism ties between the countries, and will strengthen the friendship between the nations,” says Cohen.
Fidan thanks Cohen for the assistance Israel provided after deadly earthquakes that rocked the country in February, according to the Foreign Ministry readout.
